That looks great!  Lots of killer etches around here lately.

That etch, man!  Nice!

Man, that was nice!

That's brilliant!  Nice build!

That really looks great!  I love the contrast between the polished top and the sanded sides.

Yeah, I got mine from Tayda as well.  I have quite a few of them from different batches, but I've only tried 2 so far.  Same results with both.  I'll pull the ones from my Multiplex tomorrow and give them a try.

I did sub tl072's for the tl062's because that's what I had.  Not sure if that would matter.

I get this, too.  But I would describe it as distortion as the notes decay.  I wasn't sure if that was supposed to be that way or not.  I tried the cap swaps, but it sounds the same. 

Beautiful layout. The space between components makes me feel calm somehow

The whole build has a zen quality to it. 

Thanks for the encouragement guys    On the upside I've been playing my guitar a lot more and actually using the pedals I've built.  My band played a gig recently and I used all DIY stuff-my amp, pedals, guitar-and got compliments on the guitar sound, so that feels pretty good.

Fleshlight? 

LOL 

I don't know?  Could be a default.  Sorry to let you down    I'll go check it out...

I haven't built a pedal since August and I think I've forgotten everything I knew.  Most of the trouble I had with it was self inflicted.  When I rocked it, I got no sound.  I went around checking voltages, flipping the polarized caps that were supposed to be non-polarized caps, turning knobs etc.  Voltages were all good and I got sound in bypass, but for some reason I was getting nothing with the circuit engaged-even with the audio probe there was no sound anywhere.  I was just about to toss it in the box of fail when I got the idea to switch my input and output.  Bingo!  I'd plugged my input into the output and vice versa 

Then the graphics.  I couldn't remember which paper I use for my toner transfers, and none of them seemed to work anymore.  I ended up going with magazine paper, but the transfer still came out grungy.  Still don't know what I was doing wrong.

I haven't played with it much yet, but so far I like it.  I'll try to get a quick demo of it up later this week.

Captain Coconut!

Nice!

Want!  Wonder what the price will be...  They say "affordable" I wonder what that means.

"Affordable" is always a relative term.

I'd say definitely an autowah, most likely compression also.

My wife listens to Pop stuff all the time and Taylor Swift is one of the few "artists" I can actually stand.  But then I'm old and I like catchy melodies vs. autotuning and bad Rap
